Room 324, Friday Evening

[vanillajello]

After everything that had happened over the last week, and what little had happened today, Kate was just so very glad to have a completely unrelated thing to focus on.

And right now, that thing was the thought of getting a new fake little sibling tomorrow. So, she'd been putting together a little welcome kit with some useful items. It felt a little dorky, but it was pretty fun, actually, doing that. And distracting, which was the important thing.

She'd even considered baking a batch of cookies, but then decided against it both because there'd be enough food at the welcome picnic, and she wasn't really feeling the idea of standing in the common room baking right now. She'd just offer to bake the kid something at a later date.

So now, Kate was just sprawled on her bed, making a refresher list of all the things a newbie to fair Fandom island should be told on their first day.

And she was eating chocolate. Chocolate was a good thing.

"Well, what would anyone do if they saw us?" Bod asked, laughing quietly. "Ask us to stop? Maybe we'd listen. Ask us to leave the town? I'll find us another place to stay."

[vanillajello]

"Well if you look at it like that, I guess there's nothing standing in our way," she replied, smirking though her eyes were still closed.

"Not that I thought there was much stopping us, anyway. We've done worse in public. A little making out somewhere where there's actually people around is not all that bad."

[therewaslife]

"It wasn't that public," Bod said once he realized what she was referring to. Hopefully she wouldn't see the blush on his cheeks since her eyes were closed.

[vanillajello]

She could still guess. Didn't bother to check, though. "It wouldn't have taken much for us to be seen, either."

[therewaslife]

"Well." He laughed and shook his head. "Then, we would have been seen. I would have blushed and probably tried to hide behind you and you could have...explained."

[vanillajello]

Kate laughed quite a lot at that, actually.

"Wow, you're a real gentleman, Bod," she said. "I was gonna say we could've hoped that whoever caught us would've been blinded by the sight of your white ass."

[therewaslife]

"It's not white, it's pale," he insisted, trying not to laugh. "And it wouldn't blind anyone!"

[vanillajello]

"If the light reflected off it the right way, I'm sure it would," she insisted in return. "And it's white."

[therewaslife]

"You're almost as pale as I am," Bod argued, shaking his head and opening his eyes. "So, does that mean that fact would hold true for you too?"

[vanillajello]

"No," Kate said, keeping her eyes closed even though she could guess his were open. "Because I'm not quite as pale as you are. I have a warmer skintone."

[therewaslife]

"You're still pale," he insisted with a laugh and a shake of his head, "so you could still blind someone. Just because you're not as pale as me, doesn't mean it can't happen."

[vanillajello]

"I won't blind anyone," she said decisively, then smirked. "But I might mesmerize them."

[therewaslife]

"I didn't know you objected so much to my pale body," Bod teased, shaking his head. "Perhaps I'll just keep my clothes on around you."

[vanillajello]

"I don't object to it," Kate replied easily, sliding her hands slowly down his back. "I'm just a realist."

[therewaslife]

"And there is absolutely no way to prove who is right besides showing myself off to someone else," he said, leaning into her hands some.

Showing himself off to someone else was something he...didn't want to do at all.

[vanillajello]

That got her to open her eyes, only so she could really smirk at him.

"Because you'd so totally do that, I'm sure."

[therewaslife]

"Well, I didn't say I'd do it. I just said that would be the only full proof way to see which of us was right," he pointed out, making a face at that smirk.

[vanillajello]

"Don't make faces at me," she chided lightly, fragging her nails along his back through his shirt. "It's impolite."

[therewaslife]

"Are you really lecturing me about being polite?" Bod asked, pushing back into her hands again because that felt...that felt really good.

[vanillajello]

"Yes," Kate replied, pushing her nails into his shirt and his skin a little harder. "What of it?"

[LOL 'fragging' I CAN TYPE.]

[therewaslife]

"You don't think I'm polite enough?" Bod wondered, sighing and trying to press back against her hands even more.

[MAYBE SHE WAS KILLING BOD WITH A GRENADE. I WAS UNSURE.]

[vanillajello]

"You made faces at me," she reiterated, just keeping her hands still now, just pressing. "It was impolite."

[therewaslife]

"You deserved the faces," Bod retorted, nodding once. "I think I was justified in making faces at you for calling into question the level of my paleness."

[vanillajello]

Kate's hands crept lower. "Your level of paleness is high, and that's just a fact," she said. "And for the record, I like your blindingly white ass."

There was totally even a surprise squeeze to emphasize that.

[therewaslife]

Surprise, indeed. Bod couldn't stop the startled yet amused laugh from slipping out. He couldn't even get a witty retort out because of that.

"Did you just squeeze me?"
